In the beginning … God’s vitality, which seemed the end, transforms itself into a beginning. Here too God’s birth out of the ground, [God’s] creation prior to creation, will prove to be the prophecy of [God’s] manifestation.
Franz Rosenzweig, *The Star of Redemption*, translated by William W. Hallo from the 2nd edition of 1930, University of Notre Dame Press, 2014/1985, 112.
